Who is Connor Hawke? - A Reading Guide

Connor Hawke is the son of Oliver Queen and Sandra "Moonday" Hawke. He is best known for his role as the Green Arrow, taking on the mantle upon his father's death and continuing as the Green Arrow after his resurrection. Connor was raised by his mother, and struggled in school due to being bullied for being mixed race (his mother is Black and Korean and his father is white). At around age thirteen Connor was able to talk his mother into letting him move to a Buddhist Ashram that his father had once stayed at, and there Connor entered the care of Master Jansen, learned martial arts and archery, and became a Buddhist monk. It was at the Ashram that Connor decided to continue the Green Arrow legacy. While serving as the Green Arrow, Connor teamed up with the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and the Flash Wally West, Robin Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, and the Justice League.

While Connor is most known for his connection to the Arrow family, as this was what was focused on most heavily in Green Arrow Vol. 3- it is important to remember Connor has strong connections outside of the family as highlighted in Green Arrow Vol. 2! These characters include: Sandra "Moonday" Hawke, Nathan Hawke (Connor's "Gran"), Mastern Jansen, Eddie Fyers, Kyle Rayner, Wally West (and his wife Linda), Tim Drake, and Cassandra Cain!

As of June 2022, Connor has been confirmed as asexual, which solidifies his ace coding from both Green Arrow Vol. 2 and 3!

[lesbianspeedy]

Sorry if this is a bad question or more likely just hopeless. I’ve been trying to find a good Connor Hawke comic to read (first found out about him in Damian’s Robin solo and he and Rose were the only two things I liked besides the Robin chase but I’m a bat brat) and I’ve only read the Silver Monkey story and as I’m not a fan of Oliver Green at all (my exposure to him has in no way been positive) and I HATE Dixon and I know he’s the main writer for Connor, but I had to drop the Tim solo because of his obvious, I guess bigotry would be the right word to use here, but he is one of the three writers I refuse to let myself read anymore to try and keep my blood pressure low. Are there any Connor stories or series that exist outside of those parameters to read because I’m having 0 luck. I’m also not sure if you’re a fan of Mia or Emilio or have any go-to stories for them, but I know nothing about them and I’d like to change that if at all possible.

i understand, i do i do. while i think dixon is capable of good character writing, and he did manage to do it in connor's run, i also understand his very very obvious politics shine through all the time and it gets tiresome (at one point in his ga run he manages to write OLIVER QUEEN "both sides"ing literal nazis that he and hal fought in GL/GA). here's the best i can do for recs outside of dixon (though few and far between)

Before i start, i do wanna clarify that his character in robin is. well. pretty different from his actual pre-established character. I'm not saying you won't like him, and im genuinely begging you to give him a shot, but if youre looking for the snarky brawler type, you might be a lil thrown by the polite buddhist monk you're gonna get.

you are in luck, as his first few appearances were by kelley puckett, so if you havent already read GA vol. 2 #0, do that first! #91 and #92 are also by puckett until dixon takes over for #93, so read those if you dont mind just stopping in the middle of an arc, otherwise avoid.

now this next rec IS 1/3 written by dixon but if you can get through it, the crossover connor has with wally and kyle is enjoyable, thats Green Lantern Vol. 3 #96, GA Vol. 2 #130, and The Flash Vol. 2 #135

Connor's JLA run! JLA Vol. 1 #8-#15, #8 and #9 are specifically about connor saving and joining the league, the rest of the issues just feature him in a team setting, as, well, its the league.

if you want to read mia as well, read Green Arrow: Quiver (GA Vol. 3 #1-#10), Connor plays an important role but its almost entirely in the very last issue, and it's more about Ollie's role dynamic with him than anything else, so just read that if it tickles your fancy.

I wish i could recommend more of GA Vol. 3 for connor, unfortunately he's pretty fucking sidelined, and for every good moment theres 2 bad ones. (immediately after quiver he is shot and put in a coma for an arc, somehow this isnt the last time this happens.) Though i do recommend #11, and i think #21 is a good issue to read for ollie and him, but it also includes a pretty huge retcon to Connor and Ollie's past

Other than those, he has One-shots in Green Arrow 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular: "One", DC Pride 2022: "Think Of Me", and DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration: "Hawke & Kong"

to answer your second question, my URL aint lesbianspeedy for nothin! Mia is what i breathe and bleed, my recs for her are here!

as for Emi, your best bets are Green Arrow Vol. 5 #18-#20, #22, #28-#34 for her origin (though read N52 green arrow at your own risk, even i havent properly read these), Green Arrow Vol. 6 #1-#7 (this may feel like a completely new character, i'm sorry, dc has a angsty characterisation problem, if you enjoy either of these characterisations, i'd recommend you keep reading said runs past my specific recs for more issues with her!) and Stargirl Spring Break Special + Stargirl: The Lost Children #1-#6

#Jason Todd #Panty Robin Supremacy #comic panels #comic pages #on a design level I think it serves a particular purpose—not only for continuity but ALSO to help reinforce that… #…Jason was a *kid* when he died. #it serves a nice contrast even within the narrative of being the ‘bad’ Robin—he didn’t get the *chance* to… #…learn or grow or change—by Batman’s side (in-canon) or on a metatextual level ‘on-page.’ #it also helps serve to contrast Jason’s minimalist/utilitarian design post-UtH. #(which is why I actually kind of like Jason having a *costume* like in Grant Morrison’s run just…not like that.) #(and I also like Jason putting on costumes during his heel run pre-Flashpoint… #(…post-Crisis Jason didn’t have much EXCEPT Robin—hence why it was so easy to cover up his death and swap him with Tim.) #(so I think it makes sense on a character note that he would focus on costumes on an identity-building level.) #(I mean this is all fanwankery but it makes sense to me!) #(oh and also LEGGIES!!!!)

[lacrimosathedark]

I have made quite clear how much I adore Jason Peter Todd, despite how frequently he is written terribly. RHATO is Not Good, but pre-Flashpoint was...chaotic for his characterization to say the least.

HOWEVER!

I wish to give my fellow Jaybird lovers some stable ground if they’re looking for decent and consistent Red Hood characterization post-resurrection.

[Fuck you Battle For the Cowl that was a shitshow]

Most people cite the Under the Hood storyline as the best work about Jason. That story was written by Judd Winick. So, here’s a list of stories involving The Boy written by Judd Winick, with short summaries so you know what you’re getting into! And some images because I can’t not.

Batman Vol 1 629: This is not actually Jason, but a Scarecrow hallucination Bruce has, but it still characterizes both Bruce and Tim’s thoughts about Jason and his potential return. It takes place pretty smack-dab between Hush and Under the Hood.

I appreciate the Hush outfit with the white streak. Excellent.

(also Tim looks like a baby and I just want to give him hugs)

Batman Vol 1 635-641 aka Under the Hood Vol 1 Batman Vol 1 645-650 and Annual 25 aka Under the Hood Vol 2 No description necessary; if you know Jason, you know how this goes.

Green Arrow Vol 3 69-72: Red Hood comes to Star City and decides to have a talk with current Speedy, Green Arrow’s sidekick, Mia Dearden.

Contains this gem:

I love him so much he’s such a dramatic bitch.

He changed the scoreboards what the fuck--

And this oof

Outsiders Vol 3 44-46 and Annual 1: Jason provides the Outsiders, specifically Dick and Roy, with intel exonerating Black Lightning/Jefferson Pierce from murder he thought he committed. Jason’s not the center of this story, but I like it a lot.

For my fellow Harper family lovers, 45 has a lot of cute Roy and Lian too, including this part that rips my heart out.

Lian is my angel and I would die for her.

For my fellow Gays, these also have the start of the relationship between Anissa Pierce and Grace Choi

also includes this dumbfuckery:

He’s a dork and I love him.

Batman and Robin (2009) Vol 1 23-25: Red Hood reluctantly teams up with Dickie-Batman and Brat Wonder Robin to save his kidnapped former sidekick, Scarlet.

Please excuse some of the art bullshit; yes, it has ginger Jason, and yes the covers use the dumb pill helmet design. But for the record, he doesn’t actually wear the pill helmet thank fuck, and the hair thing was more for continuity. They were established during Grant Morrison’s run as writer because they don’t do their goddamn homework enough to know ginger Jay is not canon Post-Crisis! Or that even then he chose to dye his hair black! (Yes I’m bitter that’s how they fucked over Talia too UGH)

At least his costume is fixed; it combines the dumb supervillain-y costume with his old biker-y look, and tbh I think it’s really cool. Aside from the bright red guns that look like toys.

Not that that lasts because this is one of if not the last appearance of Jay before the reboot! Thanks, Barry.

[small edit cuz I just can’t with this man]

He’s also a little shit throughout the whole thing. It is his mission to annoy Dick and Damian and it’s great.

BOI--

[end small edit!]

He also gets stripped for...reasons. If you’re interested. I wasn’t, but I know some of yall are nasties (/affectionate) so here’s that.

Red Hood: The Lost Days: Goes more into detail about Jason’s experience between his death and his big return to Gotham. So! Much! Trauma!

Also where this image comes from:

He really said that. So uh...yeah.

He has always been a snarky dorky bastard and I love him very much.

[EDIT ADDITION Thank you @someoneimsure​]

Robin 80th Anniversary 100 Page Super Spectacular: Jason’s story is called “More Time”, which is a story with Robin Jason and Red Hood Jason have a parallel story giving Bruce a gift on his birthday. Specifically, fixing his father’s old watch.

I love him. LOOK AT THIS BABY

(He’s talking about the watch but that literally could be said about Jason and ow my fucking HEART--)

Look at this. God I just...sometimes Jason just fills my heart with love and it’s too much. He’s a good boy!

Unfortunately, he and Steph share the space of only having one story which is bullshit. Timmy and Dami both get two, which is totally fair. But Dickie gets four. Rude. Sharing is caring, Dickiebird.

[END EDIT Thank you :33]

FOR NOTE

Things with Jason NOT written by Judd Winick Pre-Flashpoint that are major (but personally I think kinda suck) are Battle for the Cowl, Countdown, and his weird murdery Nightwing phase.

Jason Todd, everybody.

#jason todd #robin jason #dc #comic panels

[ghostinacardboardbox-oldblog]

Thinking about the Robin 80th Anniversary 100-page Spectacular and how the story for Steph is literally just about clothes. Was it a bad story? No. Do I think it was a bad choice to make that the only spotlight for the only female Robin represented in the book (with the exception of one drawing for Carrie Kelley)? Absolutely.

#it was also just the worst story in the book alright I won’t take that back #all of Dick’s eight million stories that he got (literally double the amount Tim and Damian got and four times as much as Jay and Steph) #were actually about a moment of growth for him as a person or showcasing his personality. #Jason got a comparison and contrast between who he was as Robin and who he is now while subtly showing how he still cares about B. #Tim got stories that show off his relationships with others #and especially the differences between him and his brothers #and Damian’s stories were about him and his dad and then him and his best friend. #they all had a lot more heart and meaning than Steph’s. Steph’s is just her getting a new outfit and then yelling at B #and when they ‘make up’ at the end it’s so shallow. overall I liked the idea but not the execution. #Robin #dc comics #dc #stephanie brown #comics #comic books

Who is...Oliver Queen | Green Arrow? - A Reading Guide

Oliver Queen is a hero from DC comics that was first introduced in 1941. Ollie is a character based firmly in the folk hero genre with an unmistakable heavy-handed influence from the Robin Hood mythos. Ollie is best known for being canonically a socialist, befriending assassins and "villains", and for having his most common enemy be the police. He is the father of Roy Harper (Speedy, Arsenal, Red Arrow), Connor Hawke (Green Arrow), Mia Dearden (Speedy), Tim North, and Robert Queen II. He's the older brother of Emiko Queen (Red Arrow). And the long-time partner of Dinah Lance (Black Canary) and Hal Jordan (Green Lantern). Ollie is often at odds with other heroes, which makes his epitaph the most fitting way to sum up his character in that he always makes the right enemies.

A reading list with totally legal links is under the cut!

As always

Origins: these comics deal specifically with Ollie's experience on the island

Green Arrow: Year One Green Arrow: The Wonder Year Green Arrow: Stranded (non-canon but still an AMAZING look at the island)

I am not including much of N52 because it is bad. And I am not including Rebirth because it should not be included in reading lists that are meant to teach you about the character, it exists to make you question if Ben Percy has read Green Arrow comics after YOU have read the comics he supposedly drew inspiration from.

Dick's POV of the second scene in Chapter 10 of Family Crisis

(Originally posted on Dreamwidth.)

Hi! Here’s another old draft from Family Crisis. It’s Dick’s POV of a small part of the second scene (the panic attack) in Chapter 10: Countdown, before I decided to make the first twelve chapters entirely from Bruce’s POV.

Note that because this is an old draft, the contents of the box here differ from what I ended up going with. I wrote this scene (probably the oldest in this story) back in 2019, before Robin 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular came out, in which there’s a story where a young Jason mends Bruce’s father’s watch as a birthday gift. Because of this (and also because I thought gifting a watch was a bit cliche), I decided to come up with something else for Bruce to give Dick.

-----

‘Dick, there’s something I’ve wanted to talk to you about for a long time,’ Bruce began, and his steel blue eyes met Dick’s so powerfully that Dick was unable to look away. ‘Sometimes, I wasn’t sure what you would think. But I – dammit –’

Bruce faltered, breaking eye contact. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wooden box. Dick’s heart thudded and his breath quickened, for he knew what the box contained, though Bruce had never shown him. It was Thomas Wayne’s watch. Even as Dick watched, Bruce took a deep breath and continued. Everything in Dick was quivering with the need to stop his father, yet he couldn’t move – he couldn’t think –

Bruce, you’re making a mistake … you don’t know what I’ve done!

‘I know you’re an adult now, Dick, and I – I know I don't say it often enough –’

The words dissolved into meaningless sounds, and yet they continued – a merciless sentencing, an endless punishment, a decision that resulted in eternal damnation. But how could Bruce know? He had not been there, and yet the scene before Dick’s eyes transformed into a grey, rainy night. A shadow in front of him. A voice that tortured him as it told him, ‘It’s never going to stop.’ A pressure on his shoulders – get off me get off me get off me –

He instinctively pushed at the hands touching him, and amazingly they retracted. The ground beneath him tilted, but someone caught him as he toppled. A distant voice was urging him to do … something, but he couldn’t distinguish words from the ringing in his ears and the sound of the gunshot reverberating in his head – bang, bang, bang …

And then her arms were around him, pinning him to the ground, and he was powerless to shove them off as he told her, ‘No …’

You shouldn’t have shot him.

‘Stop …’

Get off me.

‘I don’t want …’

I’m poisonous.

‘I’m sorry …’

I let Bruce down. I let you down.

He was resting against something solid, but his body refused to cooperate and get him the hell out of there, and the rain mingled with the tears on his cheeks as he gasped for air. How could he have made the same mistake again?

…

A scared teenage voice.

‘What happened? Is it his leg?’

Tim!
